Lost dolly- can you help?

[greycatmoth]

My little girl has lost her beloved dolly Amma.
I’m hoping she gets handed in- but am panicking slightly.
I wondered if the hive mind of Mumsnet could help me source a new Amma.
Amma came from a charity shop- but I’m sure she was a zapf doll. They don’t make her any more.

so, I’m looking for a doll with
green eyes
no hair
cotton fabric soft body with weighted plastic beans in her butt for weight
plastic hands, feet and head
eyes don’t close
no dummy hole in mouth
doesn’t talk or cry or anything fancy.
I’ve attached a photo.
if you think you have a doll of this kind unloved in your home my daughter would be happy to adopt her and I would gratefully pay for the opportunity to re him the doll.
please help or send leads.

A better picture

Have you tried Vinted or Ebay? May be worth a go

I reversed searched the photo and found this doll on eBay. Is this the doll? The search came up with a few of these dolls.

Apologies! I've just realised the missing doll has a fabric body which this doll doesn't have. I saw the face and thought it matched!

I collect dolls. This looks similar to Baby Choo Choo or Baby Annabell but looks like the " my first" version which were aimed at younger children. It's possible it's vintage from around 2008.

https://images.app.goo.gl/fYdt it's a vintage baby annabelle, I'm 99% sure. The eyes give it away.

Long shot but did you ever see a year printed on the back of the doll's neck or remember what the motif on the clothes said?

I think I found it but unable to add image. It's a " My First Baby Annabell". Looks like it's from around early to mid 2000s. It was from an old ebay listing that had sold but if you keep looking on ebay one will pop up sooner or later.

I’ve looked on E Bay and agree with @Tilda86 about the age of the doll. I’ll try to attach a couple of screenshots.
I have deleted seller info as don’t want to advertise on MN but hope pics will enable you to find them , @greycatmoth .
Seems like the features and skin tones of Baby Annabell have altered over the years- I think the vintage Baby George may possibly be your daughter’s Amma …..

Thankyou for the replies! I’m off to google with my new info!
She does look very much like the first baby annabell- but had green eyes not blue.
@Tilda86 thanks for your knowlegldge! I can’t remember what year was on her- and as she came from a. Charity shop I think she was either naked or just in random clothes.

She looks like that US government guy who was stealing suitcases.

My God they look terrifying! 😱

Hey! That’s my missing granddaughter you’re dissing!

@Yiayoula that bottom left one looks like a match!! Could you pm the seller name if you still have original pic? Please?x

Toy companies rerelease dolls every few years or so and change the faces. I think Baby Annabell dolls came out in mid 90s but the ones available now look totally different. x

Is this it?

Is this it?

Any luck with finding it, @greycatmoth -
